Attorney Folmer and the Board reviewed the SEQR Short Environmental Assessment
Form for the Aquifer Protection Permit application submitted by Crown Court, LLC for property
located on Bennie Road.
There was discussion regarding the need for an easement for the power line. Attorney
Folmer questioned Highway Sup't. Bush and Chuck Feiszli from Resource Associates as to the
status of the easement for the power line. Mr. Feiszli indicated that they would probably not go
underground with the power line due to the cost. Highway Sup't. Bush stated that NYSEG
indicated they would go overhead with the power line. Supervisor Tupper questioned whether
an easement would be necessary. Attorney Folmer stated that an easement would be necessary,
and suggested the Board approve the permit conditioned upon an appropriate easement for the
power line and whatever conditions were set forth by the Town and County Planning Boards.
